Daily 2014

The local crew getting the work done in West Omaha and the Mainline looks to get a new platform to sit on soon. The south or main 2 competed last year in concrete the north main is set for ties. and the gang spur is in.

Hi to Beth last night as we were shooting,

For those that needed a clear image……our fall foliage here in Omaha, certainly late and raged wind blown, muted. Hand held my camera started giving me lens disconnect prompts on the display.

Relying on composition to set the image apart from others that have the exact same chance i have to find one like i have here is easily done, leading lines drag the eye to the West Omaha guys that put up with me…..seeing other out looking to replicate to replicate my images is awesome, more fun to stand there with them so they get the image.

The sun dropping beneath the tree line 527 is out west putting together the westbound to Fremont this evening. Perfect day here in Omaha, just a wonderful night.

Back from Wisconsin…..Muted fall colors for sure but i got great images and met some great folks too! Kansas in Kansas as well as the most awesome place i have viewed the night sky in America, no bullshit, dark as hell…..with bugs, boys, a happier girl and a veteran.

Like a ship heading from its port on a beautiful sunrise morning the memories of Pam will always bring a fresh breeze to the start of the new day.

A friend for over thirty five years Pam passed away July 1, 2014…

We didn't always agree on everything….she was the only woman on multiple occasions that felt the need to usher me to the front door offering to whoop my ass for something in the front yard, yet when things got bad i was one she could confide in.

I had the pleasure of riding out a few meteorological disasters with her and her family.

The long struggle comes to an end, i know of nobody from our family that has taken a tougher road in life than Pam, yet each day for her was filled with hope and a smile.

Living most her life on the Gulf Coast where she grew up Pam always welcomed me into her home, made sure we knew her point of view, and gave me hug when i left.
Of all my sister-in-laws i spent the most time with Pam, we miss her already.

I never thought i would have found locomotive #1, it is the CSX Spirit of West Virginia and it was waiting to get on the mainline in Missouri Vally Iowa to go westbound.

I always look for the weird things i guess, like the other day we came across Union Pacific's locomotive #6789 or those even numbered ones like #5000 maybe its just me but sometimes you just got to chalk it up to looking hard for images in all the right places, I'm sure you have many tales of travels to go with your images as well.

Thanks for looking at my work today, your #1 if you leave me a comment today!

From our trip out to the east end of the Union Pacific yard at Council Bluffs Iowa….this is a busy place most days you can get some great images here, this is the point the U.P. intersects witht the Iowa Interstate Railroad.

This is looking West toward Omaha from the street…train sat the there most the day. Great photo opportunity and i saw one guy following us for most of the day.

This track heads East to Missouri Valley.

The trains here in our area when they are sitting have all lights off, pushing a train just the upper and dim, pulling... all on.

Thanks for looking at my work today, i appreciate you visiting and looking at my Images, feel free to leave me a comment.

I have been working this image for a bit, not sure it color is cool but i like it. The Omaha Union Pacific crew on the right is being overtaken by the westbound commodity. This is a shot off the I-80 overpass looking east toward 108th street.

For those who have been watching my writing we finally got the opinion from The Court…. that we are before still …..An amazing man that looked at what i wrote, who agreed with me….you are amazing, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

The Setting Sun

For those of you that took the material things from me…..I watch the YouTube video by TobyMac- Lose My Soul and emimusic and see you all, its a three ring circus of Fraud and Deception…..that first girl in the video is you Debra Wagner losing your soul sitting before The Court, with an Affirmative Defense. Don't worry of the others that committed it too, you will be sitting near them soon, your such a fool, what a tool.

The Setting Sun

As you watch the video it becomes apparent the loss of God in ones life has traumatic effects on innocent people, the bystanders, possibly someone whom you are married to, the very people who cared so much for you. As you watch the video a man Paul ask for answers and seeks favor and answers from God to the deeds of others who have harmed him. In the end you know who is right and which path is wrong most assuredly…….moving for sure.

Very similar to the events in my life while married to Debra Wagner….all proven, or should i say…."There is no question of the material facts…." and if that is the fact, your a felon soon.

The Setting Sun

Miss Wagner

Feel free to run this post right down to the Honorable District Court Justice James T. Gleason at anytime you would like…..i will keep writing, all eyes are on you….all eyes are on you…..light a candle y'all.

Do you care for those that follow you into the cell Miss Wagner…. you said yes to me, then you changed…..the tide is rising, just about done writing….all eyes upon you, all eyes upon you.

I never lost my Soul…..God granted me his favor and love, answers to the questions that place you in a cell……I'm legit, to bad you stole their hearts from me….all eyes are on you Lord, all eyes are on you Lord.

Our eyes are open wide, to the crimes committed by the other side….i forgive you for having such a thirst for money and greed , the need of prosperity, for forsaking me in my time of need. I don't want to gain the whole world, and loose my soul…..God is the one i pray to when i get up, just before when the sun goes down.

Are you still watching the video Miss Wagner…..do you see your low blows to purpose? Where is the heart…..gone,since departed. My tide is rising because i have faith, asked for forgiveness for your trespasses against me, in spite of your title…it would be Fraudster……all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you…… now start and do the right thing Miss Wagner.

Im trying to get somewhere in life, a place, real, pure and true, asking for everlasting life, wheres your heart? Having faith that your life partner doesn't betray you…. apparently knot. Do the right thing and accept responsibility for all the Frauds, not just the one. You have them all following you into the cell now…..you have lost your soul, thats not honesty Miss Wagner.

Quick get the printer…. bust off a copy, he's just sitting there awaiting your arrival. Just think of the smiles on the faces of those you caused to do harm to me, when you tell it to the deputy, you could tell him while you are there, confession is the savior…..the tide is rising, all eyes are on you Jesus, all eyes are on you. Have you lost your soul Miss Wagner, are you still watching?

Did you tell them your true title while you game the whole world, when you sold your your soul……the tide is rising, all eyes are on you Lord….all eyes are on you lord…..has she lost her soul as our eyes are open wide i thank you for the many, many, many answers why…..confession should draw thee, helping to break the chains that bind thee. No chains on me just a thirst for eternity. ….all eyes are on you Miss Wagner, all eyes are on you.

Setting Sun

My writing bout done now with answers and direction from the one i love, from above….all eyes are on you Lord, all eyes are on you Lord. The setting sun rolls down to the horizon in rural Iowa. The sun shines brightest at the end of the day upon those that have faith and everlasting love, purpose, direction toward helping those in need, not for those helping themselves, coveting material items or harming others.

At the end of this day i sit here and know not one soul can charge me with a crime of any degree, for i have supplied each and all with the evidence prior to my legal action, the documents each needed to prosecute Miss Wagner…they all willingly and knowingly committed the crimes i stated as well, why? Its like when your on the ledge and the beautiful girl says jump… i will follow. Those wolves that follow the fox into the hens house are snared for the felonies she causes them to commit, for hire.

At the end of the day i pray these are the last filings i need to file that convicts all the wolves……all eyes are on you Miss Wagner, all eyes are on you.
For all my smugers….thanks for enduring the wild and crazy post i put up today…..sometimes you just got to write and tell them to do the right thing and turn themselves into the police…..the sentences are lighter if they all do that….its all up to them, all eyes are on them, all eyes are on them!

At the end of the day providing Woodman of the World the facts that you stole from your employer and what your hired attorney did with them is a crime and i reported it to the the person you stole from…….not a crime, the right thing to do…..my providing all parties to the action all the documents i did eliminates me from the charges of aiding and abetting a felon and or a felony,….remember i told the truth from the start, we are now so close to the end….the truth you see never needs an attorney.

An Innocent Spouse Defense is what i get as i Implead all the Government agencies you have documents from, the same ones who will be soon prosecuting you to the fullest extent…..the ones that tell you, the tide is rising quickly Miss Wagner…..are you still watching, its TobyMac--Lose My Soul …..wheres your heart? What ya gonna do……all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you…..you don't get to walk away!

Just moments from the Courthouse now, going to place those papers down, take a look at downtown…..drop a few affidavits and done. I don't went to game the whole world and loose my soul……so i drop by Woodman to shake the hand of the new director since Danny left….it takes almost a sixth sense to know the rising tide is most assuredly upon you Miss Wagner……will it consume you Miss Wagner like you said it would many years ago….your the clown in the middle of the three ring circus, tell us again your title, fraudster….again, all eyes are on you Lord, all eyes are on you Jesus….do the right thing Miss Wagner…. they will even stop out and pick you up. Its when you fail to accept responsibility for your actions you cause more harm…..make the call.

Setting Sun

Betrayal by a spouse to the extent done by Miss Wagner is an offense convict-able on the Federal level….remember the "no question" …..that means the truth….its when you stop telling the truth, avoid the truth, run from the truth and you run from your soul……there in the rear view mirror Miss Wagner, and again all eyes on you, all blue... look way back there where you tossed your last husband…..Lord forgive her path of destruction, get her out of the three ring circus!

The tide is rising…..all eyes are on you Miss Wagner, all eyes are on you.

Setting Sun

It was truly amazing to see family members choose the criminal over one of their own…..to bad, when you fail to support the one that supported you at all cost thru out your lifetime you remove yourself from my greatness and achievements, to follow the criminal into the cell…….all eyes are on you Family, all eyes are on you family……(long pause here)….You should have supported your own in HIS time of need…….you suffer to from the illusions of this world, you should have had faith in your own make and model, you didn't rise above it….the paparazzi flashes, its hypnotizing….all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you as you sit in the pew…..fight for those you love, thats what family does, all in at all cost. All eyes are on you Lord , All eyes Upon You.

When you tell me you have a man in your life that is so incredible, that he will take care of all your needs without Christianity i fail to see why you need help from me…..someday will he marry thee? Someday will you find that great soul, the one of the winner, the one who overcame……all eyes are on you daughter, all eyes are on you, Jesus….you know the youtube video Kristy…..TobyMac--Lose My Soul are you watching along with the one that has answered Affirmative as a Defense to a criminal act….admission, confirmation of a class four Felony in the State of Nebraska….light a candle ya'll….did you lose your soul, don't look away….all eyes are on you Lord all eyes are on you.

The biggest blow from my family comes at the hand of my father who made the mistake of telling me in front of my God i was a product of the worst public school in the State of Texas….with the favor and direction from God i left High School without a diploma willingly back to the area he condemned…..home for some is spot on the map from where you left, i wasn't quite done there yet….so i went to find my wife…..from the same bayou i crawled out of…..seemed we were mere obstacles to our children's becoming the most educated of the family for many generations, all eyes are on you Kids, all four of you, all eyes are on y'all….now that your eyes are open wide put away all that pride, its only there to divide……rise above.

Tide is rising….I was relying on YOU in our time of need, when you hit me with the bus and made me bleed, he gave me comfort and cared about my needs. All eyes are on you , all eyes are on you.

The bottom line is, take responsibility for what you do in your life, stand up for the truth and when you see the crime occurring do something about it, as i did. Nobody is out there to get me family, I'm not running from anyone, its too bad you didn't want to share your greatness with me…..family. All eyes are on us Lord , all eyes on us Lord.

Slander and libel quick run and see…….he's waiting there, show him, lets see….thats right he has seen it all….he knows the truth, no question at all.

The truth never needs a criminal defense attorney!

Setting Sun

I can't begin to think of how lonely you feel…..

I can't believe the extent you went to slander me….

In the end you are the one who must make it right…

All eyes are on you Deb, all eyes are on you….

I only hope and pray he grants you the way and the privilege of his word….stop doing what you're doing, confess….

Who will help you with your broken hearts….. just your family.

Setting Sun

Thank you for Judging me….remember I'm the one that went to The Court, and I'm standing there now without a Criminal Defense….know what you are talking about….All eyes are on you Lord, All eyes are on you Jesus….help them know the truth of what they think they know.

Please…..even you Miss Wagner can leave me a comment if you like…..go quickly.

Same place as yesterday, hooker hill in West Omaha looking West to highpoint hill the coal train is still staged in the siding and Union Pacific crew from our area is done for the day and heading home to Fremont Nebraska a small town twenty five miles out in the Platte River Valley.

We have been shooting this same crew for a little over a year…..just like the mail service the weather doesn't seem to faze them. It was about three months ago we got a shot of them at 17 below zero just pulling out of the siding at Seymour.

In some areas of town the ground is white with cottonwood seeds….we broke into the nineties here on the hill today.

Shot this a couple weeks ago next to the Union Pacific's North Omaha yard. Loco 8790 rambles up to the petroleum terminal as 503 sits idling through lunch.

Thanks for the wonderful comments….if any of y'all are visiting for the Berkshire Hathaway stockholders meeting this weekend the Omaha Camera Club is exhibiting at the Hot Shops across from the Century Link Center……stop by and take a look.

Sitting in the siding loco 5938 brings up the rear of the 2000' coal train that is headed east. This is a common sight Union Pacific stages here mostly thru the weekend…..or they could be just shopping while passing thru town. This view is from the overpass at 132nd street.

Thanks for looking at my images, thanks for all the wonderful comments on the Rory Dillon tribute. Please feel free to leave me a comment.

My great friend passed away last night….such a short time we had together.

Unlike my brothers, he cared about me like a brother….yet he knew so little of my past…

My heart hurts from you leaving so soon my friend…..i know your in a better place….carry my prayers to my mom and dad as you walk the road into the light, guide my lenses from harm help me with my watering viewfinders, help me Rory get ambition and focus in my life, help me share my life with those who have little and are in need ……my zoom cannot go where you are, know i will see you again….always optimistic, never a frown…..as the shirt says he was from the big town.

The autopsy revealed Rory had an enlarged heart…..I could have told them that.

Busy lives tend to keep us from thinking of the time we have left here on this planet.….maybe the next life has you knowing a predetermined end date and some requirements of you while being there…..your faith set you free. Forty nine years old Rory told me his tales from his life, his struggles and strife, he painted quite a tough life….he apparently got done what was required of him here.

Waiting for the train….we have all done it, mostly as an inconvenience or as a mode of transit they impact our lives. The rush of the wind as the locomotive passes either on the platform or in the siding still caused a smile from Rory each time we went out to shoot……the long breaks between trains turned to conversation and laughter….friendship.

Rory and his wife Jenifer are both members of the Omaha Camera Club here in Omaha Nebraska, Rory shot with a Sony camera. Linda and I met him at the train museum in Council Bluffs Iowa…..wandering aimlessly around the dead steel out front, he kept getting in my images as i moved around. I finally went up to meet him and gave him my card and the club card as well told him to send me an e-mail after looking at my train images on my site….two guys New York born in Council Bluffs Iowa.

What a way to go…..naked, dreaming... with the woman you loved laying next to you……Christ saved all your luck for the end my friend…..please sign me up for that one Rory or drop a note in the comment box for me….

Like so many days this past year…..i would end up down at the tracks with Rory. This was the evening the sun comes down on the tracks that are situated east and west here in Omaha, Rory is getting a great shot here at Seymore.

Headed west to the coal fields of Wyoming 7294 enters the canon of death, the area of downtown cut through the side of a hill. Light here is bad, its dark most of the time and there is a lot of graffiti in the area, this is on milepost two. Rory didn't wear his boots and got his new sneakers real dirty.

Most of the time i shoot this area from the other direction, closer to people and traffic, this is a sketchy area lot of transients and riff wraf about. The sun was just above the building to our left and setting fast.

Yesterdays questions on the "ice look" above the trees….it is quite typical of an early Autumn here in the midwest for the humidity to bake out of the surrounding agricultural products grown in the area, it creates a layer of fog like haze and with a windless morning it can be quite pronounced against a solid background.

I find in most images it is hard to detect the weather phenomenon in a picture to any depth, in my work with HDR i now look for that when i shoot and try to incorporate it into the image….thanks for asking, i hope this helps you in some way.

Our flock of 2 million geese are a solid month behind at Squaw Creek from last years arrival, we are anticipating them at the end of the week. Visit your local Refuge today and sign the guest book and leave a comment, some get there funding that way.

I shot this from the overpass on the west entrance of the yard. They seem to be just storing them all here.

Thanks for the wonderful comments, life has been busy and i have been posting late in the day with quick uploads…but I'm still in the old format, maybe the new formats are the upload speed problem….Have a great week!

It's images like this that could have so many title's……seems the two guys are having a discussion about where the stuff that was in the middle went…..shot this while out at Paul and Nisha in the middle of the Laurel Montana BNSF yard.

….damn UFO's are quick Jim.

….she winked at me loser.

….how did that get way back there.

….dude …she was smokin hot!

Anyway...they use this combo to put together trains to go East, they are busy all day and the caboose is the remote control center. Quite an operation here at Laurel Montana, they also weld track together in what looks like half mile sections and load them in cars built to hold what looked like fifty stacked where they could just pull them off on location.

Enjoyed meeting all the great folks down in Lincoln Nebraska this past weekend….hope to get to work with your images this week.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments on the KCS loco's at the mill…..have been busy busy.

Like finding the sociopath in your life that you married has committed crimes against you while married. Finally divorcing her, having now to clean the path of pain and destruction she leaves in her wake.

Moveable Frogs

Causing pain for happiness because pain is the only item she can apply……are you helping?

Moveable Frogs

I'm Moving it be over…..

Another great shot from our Great State of Nebraska for which I am a proud citizen of!

Ok hot off the press, just took this outside of Fremont today, a balmy 11 degrees out. The crew van had just departed, 5480 is headed east full of containers.

Thanks go out to my Omaha Camera Club friends, i mistakenly placed a few to many pictures in a contest category our club has, so they tied for first place, lol. We had three more members join the club last night, just wonderful!

The weather is getting better and since Christmas is over i am getting rare glances of my frozen toes, lol. Everything is like double dead here now, basic earth tones in the outdoors and cabin fever sick folks looking forward to 50 degrees on Sunday, i may do a selfy in my shorts Santa brought me!!

Just coming out of the West Omaha siding 6854 heads to Iowa from here. This train sat in the siding most of the holidays in fact i was trying to get a long distance shot of this as it sat in the siding when the crew van showed up and out came the crew. Just at sunset he got the green to move to mainline #2 into" Seymore" where I'm standing. Seymore is a place near by where i live and the sunset here are awesome as well…..however a bit cold. I think they knew i wanted a image…..it took them forty five minutes to cross the switch and get to this point, lol….frozen!

Our airport and the trains are the only things moving outside…..the train crew that works West Omaha were sitting here this morning at -16 below zero waiting for the green to get track #2 westbound. My equipment is hard to hold its so cold.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my Images! Please leave me a comment.

8042 Has the red next to the old Omaha Union Pacific Station, it is now the Durham Museum.

Thanks for all the well wishes for the book, looking forward to the New Year guiding multiple trips this year for Fall foliage in Wisconsin and Vermont and guiding a trip to Asheville North Carolina for some waterfall work as well…..

It would be interesting to read what others have going on for image gathering in 2014.

Husker Nation is quite happy today…..zero this morning, seriously overcast possible inversion pockets of fog almost hoarfrost material if we had a slight wind. Three to four inches of snow on the ground, boss said Happy New Year….get the hell back to work, lol.

Harvest completed seems only the birds are moving. Snow today one to three inches and cold, we won't get to ten above today on the hilltop.

In the past i haven't seen the cause to write much with my images really only naming my images and a quaint blurb here and there... plus i have been writing legal briefs for the past couple of years for our last court date, which is soon upon us.

I will be writing much more this year for a book of railroad images from Nebraska and the great stories of our travels to these special little places.

For Mike and Ella Mae…my image from your hometown, enjoy.

From our trip out to see the good folks in North Platte. Thanks for all the wonderful comments in 2013...
